I found my 1st geocache! Woohoo!!

Now I know what geocaching is all about. I just followed the little arrow on the GPS screen as it guided me to the destination marked with a treasure chest icon which was labeled as "cemetery".
Below: What looks like a new chapel adjacent to the cemetery.
Below: An much older chapel with a bright red door standing next to a windmill.

I Drove thru winding residential roads to get to an intentionally isolated cemetery walled off. The cemetery, amazingly, had two chapels and a windmill. The cache was hidden as the very back of the grounds hidden beneath a little cove of over-hanging vines. It was well-hidden inside a hollow tree stump.

Below: An interesting large tree on cemetery grounds.

I know what geocaching is all about. It's about luring people to unique and worthwhile locations; locations where people would never see otherwise.

Below: The geocache hidden underneath this canopy cove of vines. Can you see it?
